If you're reading this, then I survived the three-day Chapman Law orientation and the first day of classes.
As far as orientation goes, I didn't know that just sitting around and getting talked at could be so tiring. As far as classes, I'm sure that today everyone was just as scared as I was, but hid it a whole lot better.
If you go to my school and are in my class, I'm the shifty-eyed girl who sat in the front row of property who giggled nervously at the professor's jokes: yeah, those jokes are kinda funny, but, dude, what if he calls on me next?
All throughout that first class today, I had visions of being the one person in all of 1L-dom who couldn't regurgitate portions of the assigned cases.
I also imagined that I would somehow be found to be unsuitable for the rigors of law school in the manner that that emperor guy who wasn't wearing any clothes was found out.
I would march into the classroom, armored with and secure in the fact that I had prepared for class as best I could, but somehow someone - either the professor or a fellow law student seeking to draw first blood - would call me out and point that armor out to be flawed and inadequate.
"But mother, she doesn't belong in law school!"
Thankfully, I wasn't called on today. But it's only the first week of classes.
Chances are if you are confused, everyone else is also confused. Also if anyone puts you down for not answering well or getting caught up in a tricky question, thank them for making it easy for you to identify that they are an asshole and not worth your time.

I've also made to myself the same question "what if he calls on me next?" because the teacher can ask me whatever he wants, also I've thought "What if the professor tell me something Inappropriate?", or maybe if he wants to tell dirty things to my hear, it would be so hard.m10m

The firing came hours after ESPN reported it had an audio recording of a 2002 conversation between Davis and Fine's wife Laurie in which she said she knew about the alleged molestation but felt unable to stop it.
